Julian got to Asher's apartment within twenty minutes of the call. His face gave nothing away as he came in and listened to the whole story of the elevator, while Asher's voice still shook, hours after it had happened.

"Diane Whitmore," Julian said when he'd finished. He sounded calm, almost thoughtful. "I know the name."

"You know her?"

"I know of her." Julian sat down and steepled his fingers. "She handles delicate matters for several prominent families in this city. Discretion work. Informat

  • The Enemy Alpha's Beta    Chapter 112 : Organized Chaos

    Ethan's apartment looked like a small disaster zone by the time Marcus arrived that Saturday afternoon, laundry piled on the armchair, dishes stacked precariously in the sink, textbooks scattered across every flat surface like he'd been living out of a suitcase for weeks instead of an actual home."Wow," Marcus said, standing in the doorway, surveying the wreckage with wide eyes. "I've seen crime scenes with better organization.""I've been busy," Ethan said defensively, though he winced slightly at the state of things, seeing it properly through someone else's eyes for the first time in a while."Busy avoiding your own laundry basket, clearly." Marcus stepped inside and rolled up his sleeves. "Come on. We're fixing this today.""You don't have to—""I want to," Marcus said, echoing words that had become something of a running joke between them by now. "Besides, I refuse to date someone whose apartment looks like it's been ransacked by raccoons."Ethan laughed despite himself, some of

  • The Enemy Alpha's Beta    Chapter 111 : Locking the Door

    Asher changed his locks that same evening, a locksmith Ethan found within the hour working quickly at the front door while Asher sat wrapped in a blanket on the couch, still shaking every few minutes despite the hours that had already passed."Both locks," Ethan told the locksmith firmly. "And can you add the chain too? The heavier kind.""Sure thing," the man said, glancing between them with mild curiosity he was polite enough not to voice.Once he'd finished and left, Ethan tested the new locks twice, then a third time, before finally sitting down beside Asher on the couch."Block his number," Ethan said. "Right now, while I'm sitting here with you."Asher pulled out his phone with unsteady hands and found Julian's contact, his thumb hovering over the option for a long moment before finally pressing it.Contact blocked.Something in his chest loosened slightly at the confirmation, though the fear didn't fully disappear along with it. He stared at the empty space where Julian's name

  • The Enemy Alpha's Beta    Chapter 110 : The Wrist

    Julian texted twice on Tuesday and three times on Wednesday, each message a little warmer and a little more patient than the last. Each one made the silence Asher sent back feel heavier than it should have.By Thursday morning he was standing outside the lecture hall with his bag on one shoulder and his stomach in knots that had nothing to do with the baby. He had almost talked himself into getting through ninety minutes of contract law without trouble."You've been avoiding me," Julian said afterward. He caught up with Asher in the nearly empty hallway once the other students had filed out. His voice was low and pleasant enough that anyone glancing over would have seen only a professor and a student exchanging a few words."I asked for space." Asher didn't stop or slow on his way to the stairwell. "I meant it.""You blocked me from your notes group for the exam review." Julian fell into step beside him without effort, closing the gap Asher kept trying to open. "That felt like more th

  • The Enemy Alpha's Beta    Chapter 109 : What He's Already Decided

    Julian let himself in with the spare key Asher had given him weeks ago, back when a key had felt like a small, harmless kindness and not a thing Asher now wished he could take back."I brought the brochures," Julian said. He set a slim folder on the kitchen counter as if it were nothing, as if they'd already agreed. "Three properties, all outside the city. Quiet streets. Good schools eventually, though obviously that's years away."Asher stared at the folder and didn't touch it. "Julian, we talked about this. I'm not moving anywhere.""You said you'd think about it." Julian pulled out a stool and sat down like he planned to stay a while. "That's different from no.""It was as close to no as I could get without you getting upset," Asher said, and he regretted how honest it sounded the moment it was out.A look crossed Julian's face and was gone, smoothed over so fast Asher almost doubted he'd seen it. "I'm not upset. I'm being practical. You're twenty-two weeks along now. You'll want t

  • The Enemy Alpha's Beta    Chapter 108 : I Won't Wait Forever

    Marcus found Killian in the estate's private gym late that night, well past midnight, still hitting the punching bag with a raw, worn-out force that had nothing to do with training. The lights were dimmed and most of the house was asleep. The only sound was the steady, brutal thud of a fist on leather, over and over, as if Killian were trying to beat the pain loose from inside his own chest."You're going to break your hand," Marcus said from the doorway.Killian didn't stop. "It wouldn't be the worst thing that's happened to me this week."Marcus crossed the room and caught the bag with both hands, holding it steady until Killian had to stop. Sweat ran down his face. His knuckles were raw and red under the tape."Talk to me."Killian stepped back, breathing hard, and dropped onto the bench. He pressed both hands over his face for a long moment before he spoke. "I saw him tonight. Asher. My grandfather invited him.""I heard." Marcus sat down beside him."He's different, Marcus." Kill

  • The Enemy Alpha's Beta    Chapter 107 : A Name From Long Ago

    Dominic looked at Asher's face for a long time without speaking. His pale eyes moved slowly over each feature, as if he were reading a line written there in a language only he knew."You're wondering why I asked you here alone," he said at last."A little." Asher tried to keep his voice steady."I'm an old man." A faint, tired smile touched his mouth. "Old men are allowed odd habits. Mine is staring too long at young faces that remind me of a thing I can't place."Asher's pulse picked up. "You said that at the gala too. That I reminded you of someone.""Did I?" Dominic's eyes sharpened a little, though his tone stayed light, almost playful. "I don't remember everything I say these days. Age loosens a man's grip on his own words."Asher didn't believe that for a second. Dominic's mind was sharper than most people's half his age, and every question he asked had been chosen with care."Tell me about your family," Dominic said. "Your mother, of course. But before her. Your grandmother, pe
